00:00As we bid farewell to a leader who has embodied honor and excellence, we welcome one who is

00:07equally competent to lead the men and women of the PNP, Police General, Nicolas D. Torre III.

00:17Your assumption of command comes at a time that calls for clarity, for courage, and for conviction.

00:24These challenges that we face are evolving. We have transnational crimes, cyber threats, extremist violence, and even police misconduct.

00:34At the same time, the opportunities to earn trust and improve public service have never been more reachable.

00:42Your leadership will help define what kind of police force we continue to build.

00:47One that acts with precision, responds with compassion, and stands as a pillar of accountability.

00:54Hamong ko sa iyo, panatilihing mong malinis at marangal ang hanay ng ating mga kapulusan.

01:03Bilisan ang investigasyon sa mga kaso laban sa mga polis na lumabag sa batas upang maibigay natin ng hustisya sa lalong madaling panahon.

01:13Paigtingin din ninyo ang presensya ng kapulisan sa mga lansangan.

01:16Siguruhin, mas maraming polis na umiikot sa mga kalsada at nagbabantay sa ating mga komunidad.

01:24Lalo na sa lugar na madalas ang krimen at kaguluhan.

01:28Kapag kailangan ng taong bayan, dapat may polis na agad nagre-responde.

01:33Iparamdam natin sa mga Pilipino na may polis na handang dumamay at pagtanggol sa kanila sa lahat ng oras.

01:41Sa tulong ng PIDEA, ipagpatuloy ninyo ang paglaban sa iligal na droga.

01:47Magsagawa pa rin tayo ng drug seizures at iakin na sasampahan ng kaso ang mga drug dealer at mga drug lord.

01:55Patuloy din kayong magmatyag sa ating mga komunidad para kahit ang small time ng mga drug dealers ay wala rin ligtas.

02:04Hindi dapat natatakot ang estudyante o ang mga manggagawa, motorista, magulang na maglalakad sa kalsada umagaman o gabi.

02:15Bilang alagad ng batas, inaasahan ang buong kapulisan na kumilos ng marangal, maglingkod ng katapat at maging sandigan ng ating mga kababayan.

02:25Iwasan ninyo ang paggamit ng pribileho para sa pansariling benepisyo.

02:31Maging instrumento kayo sa katuwiran, kapayapaan at kaunlaran.

02:37Continue to engage with communities and partner with local governments and stakeholders.

02:43Strengthen your cooperation with all the other agencies.

02:46And above all, center every initiative on the needs, the rights, and the welfare of each Filipino.

02:55Let your badge be your daily pledge, not to command, but to serve with integrity.

03:01Let every decision uphold the law and let every gesture reflect the quiet dignity of true public service.

03:09May the PNP become a source of hope and reassurance to every community that you protect.

03:17This change of command ceremony is a renewed promise.

03:21A clear mandate to champion peace, to serve with honor, and to move our nation forward with dignity.

03:29Together, let us shape a Bagong Pilipinas, where every citizen is disciplined and obeys the laws.

03:36Where every police personnel is a role model, worthy of trust, of respect, and where the standard of keeping our people safe is high.

03:47Maraming salamat at mabuhay ang PNP, mabuhay ang Bagong Pilipinas.
